How often must SF-700s be verified or checked?

• A. Every 7 days
• B. Every 15 days
• C. Every 30 days or when opened
• D. Annually

Answer: (C)

SF-700s are the security container information that must remain current and intact; you verify them on a regular schedule to ensure ongoing accountability and to detect any tampering or changes. The requirement to check every 30 days or when the container is opened means you perform a periodic verification at least monthly, and you also re-check each time the container is accessed to confirm that the container, seals, and related information are still correct and that the access record is accurate. This strikes a balance between maintaining security and avoiding unnecessary administrative burden. Checking more often, like every week or every 15 days, would be more than needed for typical security containers, while an annual check would miss intervening changes or tampering.
